2019 Golf R. I love the look, has AWD and some good HP. Plus it has more room then any car I have every owned. Gonna keep it until it dies.
2020 Cayenne turbo. Fast, comfortable, and has a bunch of room for stuff
Cayenne turbos are so, so good. I also had a 2020, and miss the Cohiba/CF interior daily. Not to mention the mind-bending performance for. 6k lbs SUV.

Trek FX4, it gets good gas mileage traveling to work
2021 911. Wanted something enjoyable
I think the “why” part is pretty self-explanatory
Dope
540. Just a solid car overall and love the m trim and black wheels with it. Kids like being in it and I can also "let loose".
NGL. Kinda want to go m550 next
BMW M340i. Perfect daily driver, super luxurious and smooth commuter but can really wake up and drive fast when I want it to. AWD for winter/skiing. Convinced there is not a better value in the ~$50k range.
I financed it. It’s a 2021 and I bought it CPO so it’s been perfect reliability-wise as expected. TBD how it ages past the first few years, but the B58 should be solid
2002 ram. Why? It was $1000
2024 BMW X3 M40i. Sadly you can’t order one anymore and the ‘25 are hideous and heavier/slower. But first and foremost it has ground clearance, which unfortunately is a top priority for me given the state of our roads. Secondly, the B58 engine is the engine of the decade. So much power, and somehow I get 24mpg in mixed commute and 28-36 on highway trips depending on conditions and traffic. It’s the perfect size, hauls ass and cargo, has iDrive7 which was the last good one (aka with buttons), was a great price considering the market (and I got 10% off a custom order!), and it feels luxurious. I don’t mind sitting in traffic in that car (I wish they offered massage seats in the X3 but I’ll take the ventilation!). I also think it looks gorgeous, def this pic doesn’t do it justice, but when you see it in the flesh, there are so many interesting lines and curves on the exterior and the hexagon pattern motif is repeated all throughout the interior and exterior, it’s so well designed. The M40 is also the perfect sweet spot between the having power/speed and luxury and not getting too stiff and overloaded with carbon fiber like the X3M, not to mention cheaper. I think the upgrade from iDrive30 to M40 is game changing, people in the 30 aren’t even in a BMW imo (the power difference felt is MASSIVE), but M40 to X3M is a lot more subtle and not necessarily worth the price increase, esp when you consider my first point about the roads being shit. I think it’s the ultimate sweet spot car.

It’s clean
FL5 CTR. I wanted a fun car that has 4 doors.
2021 Audi RS5 Sportback Black Launch Edition! Incredible car that’s got great performance, unique on the road, and practical with 5 seats.
Huge Audi fan. Looks beautiful
22 Subaru WRX Limited. Got a great deal on it, was already packed with mods I’d have done myself, low miles, perfect in every way. Perfect daily.
With the tune, it’s at 350bhp, 3500lbs, coilovers and roll bars so it handles beautifully. And the confidence of AWD and a nice 6 speed gearbox for the enjoyment of daily driving.

Love it 💪
2023 Kia Stinger.
Wanted a new AWD sedan that was "sporty" around the 40k mark. Left me with this or the WRX and got a good deal on the Kia.
I have daily driven my share of modified and fast kidney punchers, I'm on a hiatus. My current ride is a Mercedes E400 coupe, sporty, relatively nimble, and quick enough for trips to the grocery store and kid activities.
Mine is my CLE Cabriolet. While I still have a house up north, I gave up my SUV for a convertible now that I’m down south (Florida) most of the time these days. I love this car. Wouldn’t work up north, but here. I love it.
I'd be all over a CLE 63 if they'd make it and put the tt V8 in there. The new 2.0 liter hybrid setup may be quick, but it doesn't excite me in the least.
Good looking ride. 👍
2010 Mustang GT, i just love it!

2016 Toyota Avalon, nice ride, comfortable, not too big not small, love it.
2015 WRX. Had it since new. Love it. Practical, fun, affordable… Great all around vehicle.
Only downside is tech is outdated (and by outdated I mean “nonexistent”), which commuting as much as I do would be a nice to have.
2024 Kia Sportage X-Line, it’s my first car purchase and has the most technology for the money.
2017 Audi s3, perfect size for commuting, still way fun on the twisties and gets 30mpg
